It’s been a while since I’ve published.
Alot has been going on lately.
Monday i had to go to an interview with the county to see if i qualified for cash assistance, food stamps, and medical insurance. So far i qualify for two out of three. We still have to send in a copy of our mortgage or something like that to see about the food stamps. But i have insurance and cash now! And hopefully by next week i have a phone! Woo hoo! I’ll get help for that to =] so thats really nice. I only have to pay 20 bucks with the plan that i want.
Tuesday we had my moms cousin Michele’s funeral. I got to see alot of my family and my aunt Debbie, so that was really nice. I dont really remember Michele. I guess i havent seen her for like 15 years or so, so that would put me at three when i last saw her. I decided that i really dont want to have an open casket funeral when i die. I want to be cremated. I dont want my family to remember me as looking like i belong in a wax museum. Make up artists for the dead do a horrible job. My aunt Debbie had a really hard time at the funeral. I felt so bad for her. She was friends with Michele before she was friends with my mom i believe, so it was really hard for her.
Wednesday i had my meeting with the Avon District Manager to start selling Avon. It turns out that me and my sister have the same district manager even though my sister sold Avon when we lived down in the cities! I’m planning to save most of the money that i get from selling Avon and put it in a rainy day fund. Just in case…
Thursday i spent almost all day at the hospital. I’ve been having these pains like the top of my uterus is bruised for like the past two weeks, and in the past couple of days it has only gotten worse. So i called the Clinic, and they told me go to the ER. So i spent seven or eight hours in Labor and Delivery, hooked up to an IV, and getting poked and prodded with a million different machines to run a million different tests. Good news is that nothing is wrong with Jordan. He is a healthy 2 pounds 4 ounces with a heartbeat of 130. He was VERY active last night, always showing off for the nurses, so I’m thinking im going to have to keep an eye on him when he starts noticing the ladies. 
Anywho. The doctor said that because the pain is very localized, they were going to have to do a different type of ultrasound that the ultrasound tech lady forgot to do, which means i have to go in again next week, besides for my doctors appointment. He also said that since there was nothing wrong with baby, that i should just try to relax and take it easy, and that the cause of my discomfort was that my stomach was probably inflammed, so he gave me a prescription for Zantac. Hopefully that helps because when i get the pains, they hurt really bad. I usually cant even sit down while im having them. That hurts the worst. Now not only do i have the pains in my stomach though, now my hands bruised from the IV. I really hate those things. I’ve never had one in before, and i really hope i dont have to have another one in anytime soon. But I can say that i do like the L&D area of the hospital, and that at least they have good TV in the rooms. It doesnt help that those beds are actually very comfortable!!!
Today mom and i went to a couple garage sales, and found some really cute outfits for Jordan, and a really nice small crib so that he can sleep in my room at night for the first couple months. That will be a big help since i wont have to really get out of bed and walk across the hallway to take care of him in the middle of the night, and he wont wake Mom or Shawn up. Hopefully…
